At a very young age, Mary lost her mother from tuberculosis. She was raised by her grandmother on the Navajo Indian reservation 15 southwest of Four Corners National Park. Back in the 1940's, every family owned and tended flocks of sheep and goats. Her grandmother taught her everything about raising and managing sheep. Livestock is their survival and the mohair wool woven into rugs were one of many end products sold to local store traders for sustenance and animal feeds. Mary was known for weaving rugs that the traders would pay significant amount. Weaving is hard work and very time consuming, but she knew the rewards for the efforts paid off every time. As a mother, grandmother, aunt, sister, her tenacity and resiliency gave her hope and even made her proud. She married Sam and their marriage ended when she passed, they had 7 children-2 girls and 5 boys. She gave her all to them, inspite of painful times. She will always be remembered for her selfless and unconditional love for her family. A woman of her deep faith certainly resonated and connection she had with her traditional ceremonies were true. It gave her peace and strength. We love you Shima.
